At least one local hospital shut its emergency room and transferred patients to its Duluth location, as an investigative team from the U.S. Chemical Safety Board was sent to the scene to begin probing the explosions and fire at Huskey Energy around 10 a.m.

Hospital officials said only one of the injured was seriously hurt, with what was described as a blast injury.

As if 11:15 a.m., there were no reports of deaths, but the situation is chaotic and reports are still coming in, a spokesman for the Superior Fire Department said.

There were no reports of fatalities, and all of the refinery's workers have been accounted for, Husky Energy's Duvall said.

A spokesperson for Essentia Health said 11 people were transported to hospitals in Duluth and Superior.

Talarico says another five are being treated at St. Mary's Hospital in Superior, Wisconsin, where the explosion happened. But she said it's clear people shouldn't be breathing it in and she wonders how it will affect the water and air quality. The other nine injuries are not life-threatening, she said.

Fire Chief Steve Panger said local authorities were still working with federal agencies to determine the cause of the explosion. She doesn't know the condition of that person. Roads are blocked off around the refinery, and employees have been evacuated.

No damage estimate was available.

Calgary-Alberta-based Husky Energy refinery bought the refinery from Indianapolis-based Calumet Specialty Products Partners a year ago for $492 million. It's Wisconsin's only refinery, and it produces gasoline, asphalt and other products.

The refinery, which dates back to the early 1950s, has a professing capacity of around 50,000 barrels per day and a storage capacity of 3.6 million barrels of crude and products. It processes both heavy crude from the Canadian tar sands in Alberta and lighter North Dakota Bakken crude.
